“Paul has played in this league for the past three seasons,” said vice president of football operations Jeff Gooch. “We believe that his veteran presence and experience will be a strength on the defensive side of the ball.”

Griffin (6-1, 290, Florida State) returns for his second season in a Storm uniform. Last season, he played in 17 games, starting in 16. Griffin would finish his 2012 campaign with 13.5 tackles, three for a loss, 2.5 sacks, two pass breakups, a forced fumble and a blocked kick.

The former Seminole began his professional career in 2010, spending two seasons with the Orlando Predators.
